About This Song
Down Yonder is a classic fiddle tune that became a bluegrass standard after Doc Watson's famous flatpicked version brought it widespread attention. The tune dates back to the 1920s but found new life in bluegrass through Watson's driving, syncopated arrangement that's been influential for generations of pickers.
